You are also mixing up 'chart rap' with hip hop here.

No i'm not
"hip hop" is a shit genre. Full Stop. IT'S ALL JUST FUCKING SHIT.

OMG! Monty in "receiving a taste of his own medicine shocker!"

yes there is
Roots Manuva, Skinnyman, Foreign Beggars, 57th Dynasty and RJD2.

And plenty more recent than those as well.

I can't abide roots manuva

I forgot about Aesop Rock as well.
He is tremendous.

I find him a little too earnest and worthy.
Mr Lif, however, is outstanding.

agreed.
The recent Mos Def record is pretty good as well.

His 'Universal Magnetic' and 'Bodyrock' feat Tash and Q-Tip are amongst the best
post 'golden age' hip hop records in my collection.

Black on Both Sides
Was a marvellous album. Premier's production on Mathematics is superb.

All of the above are shit.
They are all just fucking shit.

Not like that 'Yngwie Malmsteen', who is no way a complete shitty bender, right?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 28 Apr 2011, 9:56, Reply)

Plan B, Dan Le Sac, Dizzy Rascle.

None of them has bad Germanic poodle perms so Al won't be interested in them.
None wears tights either. You're wasting your time.

Oh man, you totally zinged me there
by pointing out that one technically gifted guitarist is a massive cunt who once fell into a swimming pool while carrying out a telephone interview.

Totally undermines my point about all the above artists being shit and talentless.

Totally.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 28 Apr 2011, 10:16, Reply)

I suspect that a lot of the most technically gifted guitarists are massive cunts
not sure why, but it just strikes me that Steve Vai is probably a wanker

I get the impression that Joe Satriani
has become less of a pretentious twat as time has gone on.

This is right.
I've read interviews with him from the last year or two and he seems remarkably sound.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 28 Apr 2011, 10:21, Reply)

he's certainly producing some less wanky music
some of the Chickenfoot stuff isn't too bad
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 28 Apr 2011, 10:22, Reply)

That's the thing about guitarists
they need to realise that they ought to be part of a bands structure, not the entire focus of the band.

You would do well to take note.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 28 Apr 2011, 10:23, Reply)

I am so not the focus of my band
you are right though.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 28 Apr 2011, 10:24, Reply)

The focus of your band is its shit name.
Deal with it, please.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 28 Apr 2011, 10:26, Reply)

I've tried
it's not happening.

I shall compose a short essay on why they should, if you like.
It may contain expletives, though.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 28 Apr 2011, 10:29, Reply)

I'm tempted to ask you to do this for my entertainment anyway
I don't think it would work with the band though. They don't quite understand.

arguments were like
"we've got a following" - yeah, but it's only our friends and some people we know from the pub
"we've got two cds out" - they're not 'out', and they are frankly a bit shit

still didn't work. The trouble is, most of the band aren't horrible music snobs like you and I

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 28 Apr 2011, 10:47, Reply)

The same applies to singers who often think of the band as their backing band.
Don't they, AXL ROSE?
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 28 Apr 2011, 10:25, Reply)

Very true

(Bazongaloid, Thu 28 Apr 2011, 10:30, Reply)

well, if i hadn't been about 8.

not now though. his scary plastic face scares me.
